Add-On Releases - Daily Game - Free games for your forum

Daily Game posts a new flash game to your vBulletin once per day in a new thread. Daily Game will help your forum by:

• Starting up conversations on slow days
• Increasing retention since users are playing on your forum
• Help you get links and improve SEO (flash games get a lot of links!)
• Make you money! Use your own ad code to display an ad while the flash game is loading. These pre-roll ads get very high eCPM!

Install time: 5 minutes
Installation difficulty: Easy
Demo: http://www.playedonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40

Updated to version 2.1 : simple_xml support is no longer required, enabled bbcodes on the game thread

Installation instructions

1. Upload add_daily_game.php to the vBulletin root directory
2. Import the product XML file (Plugins & Products -> Manage Products - > [Add/Import Product])
3. Configure the Daily Game settings under vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Daily Game:
   • Set ?Enabled? to Yes
   • Visit www.playedonline.com/register_vbulletin to register (input your forum's url and your email) and get a shared key for authentication
   • Configure which userid will post the daily games (input 0 for guest)
   • Choose a forum for Daily Game
   • Customise the title (useful for non-English forums) or leave blank for default
   • Enable or disable description and instructions
   • Paste ad code (e.g. AdSense) to show a pre-roll ad before the game starts (optional, leave empty to show no ads)
   • Click the Test link you got in the registration e-mail to post a test daily game (you can delete the test post after you verify that it works)
   • You're done! A daily game will be posted on your forum every day at 3am EST.

How to link more than 1 game per day? Maybe with a different prefix?

Didn't receive my key. Been about 30 minutes. Do I need to have the mod installed pre-requesting key?

What forum are you registering for? I'll check if it's saved correctly

Anyway you can try again

I did everything as its instructed... didnt work, no test game shows up.
Furthermore, when i hit "save" in the option screen... the field to input the username gets reset to 0 every time. Is that normal?

messengermatt, carubmun - Did the test game show in your forum? There is probably a problem with the config and one or more of the steps are not complete. If you need help feel free to PM us and we will try to assist

APD Shinjo - did you get the key eventually?

BTW, We have fixed the checkbox glitch on our page

[carubmun]

Test game did not show on my forum.
Config was placed in my forums root, should it be in my site's root?
I doubt that.

I will PM.
